Privacy Warning: Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive
and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a
username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

The information shared in these forums, by moderators and members, is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship between an individual and his/her own
physician.

All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators
of these forums. Click here for “Am I Infected?” posting guidelines. Click here for posting guidelines pertaining to all other POZ community forums.

We ask all forums members to provide references for health/medical/scientific information they provide, when it is not a personal experience being discussed. Please
provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are
true and correct to their knowledge.

Jess, you need to know that you have been reported several times by other moderators for among other things the hostile nature of your comments.

You're very, VERY new to these Forums. In that short time you've managed to antagonize a number of people. As Jan has pointed out, using a term like "it makes you look uglier than you are" is nasty and just the kind of thing that can easily start a flame war.

You're giving off very prickly attitude. Cool it. Expressing yourself here also comes with responsibility. It should also tell you something that this thread didn't turn into scrapping until you started participating.

In a very short time you've gotten yourself to the edge of getting a time out. So please, don't snap back at me or anyone else right now with some kind of sassy retort. Take a breath and ease off a bit. You don't have to prove anything here about who you are or anything else.

There's more to you than what you've been showing, but what you've been showing is not likely to make others interested in getting to know you better.

When a moderator tells you to cool your heels, there are reasons for them saying it. If you don't do it, they will do it for you.

In my reply to one of your pm that we had, I told you the great pitfalls of electronic communication formats like this. One must exercise a great deal of temperance to avoid becoming offensive, or, to avoid being picked on, or felt like they are being picked on, etc, etc.

If I ever get one of those mad momma talks from a moderator, I will be so ashamed, I will be afraid to show my face. Don't confuse gentleness and courtesy with seriousnous. The message conveyed is the same what ever tone it takes. And from whomever it is given.

Matty the Damned is thinking of returning to the wicked weed. He was a HUGE smoker some years ago, but gave it up. Nevertheless he and his sister twisted a nice one up the other day and it was most pleasant.

We grow fuckin' primo bush heads out here in Boolaboolabongbong, babe. I'd bundle you off a couple of ounces of some choice heads, but those fuckin' quarantine beagles would be all over us in a second . . .

Hey Queen, it's a southern thing really. Hillbillies, Cajun's, and those that live in very rural areas. It's one step below a tar-paper shack, but one step above a barn. Imagine the most run-down decrepit shack that you can. There are also shanty-boats that people live on. There is a great example of this in one of the "Tammy" movies, but I can not remember the particular one.

Gonna sit down in the kitchenAnd fix me something good to eatAnd make my head a little highAnd make this whole day completeCuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mamaAnd put a good buzz on

Well pass it to me babyPass it to me slowWe'll take time out to smile a littleBefore we let it goCuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mamaAnd put a good buzz on

Well there ain't nothin' to doAnd there's always room for moreFill it, light it, shut upAnd close the doorCuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mamaAnd put a good buzz on

We gonna sit around the kitchenFix us somethin' good to eatAnd make ourselves a little highAnd make the whole day completeCuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mamaAnd put a good buzz onCuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mamaAnd put a good buzz on

You would think that with "terrorism" and hard drugs the DEA would have better things to do than to try to keep useful medicine from sick people and nullify the laws of 12 states. There's obviously a lot of work to do before that happens. We need to get out there, we have to fight for our rights...http://www.safeaccessnow.org/
